About

PAGO

Features
Read full description

PAGO turns your focus sessions into the experience of digging through a mine. When you start the timer, the moles begin digging a tunnel. While you focus, the screen becomes dark. Tap briefly to check your current progress and see short messages from the moles. Press and hold to pause, so you can take a moment or end the session. When a focus session ends, the app switches to a short break or long break screen. On the break screen, you can review the number of screen touches, pause time, and focus score from the session. You can also set a notification to remind you when it is time to return from your break. Your records are saved as daily mining logs. Focus time, break compliance, and focus score can be checked in the stats screen. Key Features 15, 25, and 50-minute focus presets Short break and long break timers Dark focus screen with mining animation Records screen touches, pause time, and focus score Daily mining logs Focus Gem Gallery Pro Features Custom timer settings Preset management Separate label saving and management Automatic break return notifications Advanced data stats and visualization Focus mole customization Focus phrase customization PAGO is not just an app that measures time. It turns today’s focus into a visible record. Keep digging little by little, and before you know it, you will have gone surprisingly deep.
